Hurricane Watch

Looks like we will be getting an uninvited visitor later this week. Gustav is tracking into our neck of the woods and we are starting preparations. Today we will be inventorying our hurricane kit and buying any items, food etc needed to make sure it is complete. We are also moving all of the loose materials in our yard inside and making sure that we dont leave any potential missiles outside. This afternoon wll be spent organizing the college. Tomorrow if the track continues we will put up all the storm shutters and start moving things upstairs. By Thursday we will have to move the car. Right now the track has it coming as close as 94.7 miles north of Grand Cayman Friday around 5:30 p.m. our time. Will keep you all updated as we learn things.

To follow the official tracks go to the National Hurricane Site http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

You can also track how close it will come to Cayman by going to http://www.stormcarib.com/

Under Monday August 25 update click on the closest point of approach and then click on Cayman in the drop down menu.

Another good time to keep a good thought for us and a prayer or two.
